· Free Press Journal

As IndianOil's 67th Foundation Day celebrations continued to resonate across the organisation, Mr Arvind Kumar, Director (Refineries), marked the occasion on September 1 with a visit to The Blind Relief Association (BRA), Delhi — spending time interacting with visually impaired students as part of the Corporation's "Smiles We Spread" outreach initiative.
During the visit, Mr Kumar inaugurated a digital audio-visual learning system installed in the institute's auditorium with IndianOil's support, and the Corporation also provided learning aids to strengthen the institution's facilities. Students welcomed him with a melodious song and engaged him in a lively conversation on India's evolving energy landscape. Mr Kumar encouraged them to stay curious, embrace learning, and pursue their aspirations with confidence.

The visit reaffirmed IndianOil's commitment to inclusion, accessible learning and community empowerment — values that sit alongside the Corporation's broader Foundation Day reflections on its 66-year journey of serving the nation's energy needs.
"Smiles We Spread" is IndianOil's flagship social outreach initiative that channels the Corporation's people-centric ethos into ground-level action — spanning education, healthcare, skill development and community welfare across the communities it serves.
Established in 1944, The Blind Relief Association empowers visually impaired persons through education, rehabilitation, and skill development.
